Activating Compound | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
ATP | 1.5 mM, 500fold increase in reduction rate of CTP, 2.5fold increase for GTP | Lactococcus cremoris | |
dGTP | 1.5 mM, 20fold increase in reduction rate of ATP | Lactococcus cremoris | |
dTTP | 1.5 mM, 3fold increase in reduction rate of GTP | Lactococcus cremoris | |
additional information | allosteric effectors bind to two separate sites on NrdD, one binding dATP, dGTP, and dTTP and the other binding dATP and ATP. The two sites show an unusually high degree of cooperativity with complex interactions between effectors and a fine-tuning of their physiological effects | Lactococcus cremoris |

Lactococcus cremoris | dCTP + CO2 + H2O | reaction requires both proteins NrdD and NrdG and occurs in two strictly anaerobic steps. During the first step NrdD is activated by S-adenosylmethionine and deazaflavin plus light in a time-dependent reaction. In the second step the actual reduction of CTP by activated NrdD requires dithiothreitol, formate, KCl, and ATP | ? | |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | protein NrdD contains catalytic and allosteric sites and, in its active form, a stable glycyl radical. This radical is generated by NrdG with its [4Fe-4S] cluster and S-adenosylmethionine. NrdD and NrdG anaerobically form a tight alpha2beta2 complex. NrdD alone catalyzes the reduction of CTP with formate as the electron donor and ATP as the allosteric effector. The reaction requires Mg+ and is stimulated by K+ but not by dithiothreitol. NrdD is the actual reductase, and NrdG is an activase | Lactococcus cremoris |
physiological function | proteins NrdG and NrdD together catalyze the reduction of ribonucleoside triphosphates to the corresponding deoxyribonucleotides in the presence of S-adenosylmethionine, reduced flavodoxin or reduced deazaflavin, potassium ions, dithiothreitol, and formate. A [4Fe-4S] cluster is present in reduced NrdG and a glycyl radical in activated NrdD. The two polypeptides of NrdD and the proteins in the NrdD-NrdG complex are only loosely associated. NrdDG is required for strict anaerobic growth of Lactococcus lactis | Lactococcus cremoris |
